Pros

Indeed instills a wonderful team environment where everyone is collaborative, supportive and wants to help one another. The day to day office environment was something I looked forward to and the company itself has a very "people first" mindset. Compensation in sales from a bonus standpoint is very nice (not so much base though) and the unlimited PTO (typically followed UNLESS your director disproves) is such a nice gift since many employees put their all into their sales role.

Cons

I was at Indeed for 5+ years and after about year 3, became "just a number." Indeed started putting unattainable goals in front of reps and then rolled out a product like PPA, skewing the outcome of quarter over quarter growth when clients were racking up charges and then sales ops could not understand still 2 years later, that this should NOT be incorporated in a sales quota if that was never intentional and the rep did all in their power to attempt to coach, prevent, and get in touch with the client about it. The past 6 months, about half of the reps I know and have worked with for a long time have been put on dev plans and PIP's, myself included, with the goal of just being pushed out. Many managers and senior directors are being very hands off in providing any assistance, if they are, and Indeed as a whole seems unable to accept that although yes, many companies are hiring, are not finding value in Indeed nor spending money on advertising and that to avoid layoffs, these companies are having to conserve budget where possible. I was sad to go and sad to be pushed out the way that I felt that I was, when I gave my absolute all to the company and came to work every single day, ready to hit my goals, activity metrics and provide value to all of my clients that I worked with. Director's seem to have given up on having people's backs or even trying to help in attempts to protect themselves, and that will ultimately create a negative environment as it started to with my team my last few months there and even after being gone, continue to hear about on a weekly basis.

Pros

I loved the talented people I worked with; I appreciated being appreciated; I loved helping employers hire; and I really thought this would be the company I retired from.

Cons

The company culture changed significantly after it became publicly traded; I didn't particularly care for how they handled layoffs; they didn't always act on the feedback they received; and they were slow to jump on the AI train.
